How do we actually know that Brown boarded the flight? I'm not saying he didn't (he clearly did), but do you know that the passenger manifest for the flight went missing? So we really don't know for sure who was on board that plane that day.
And guess what, Brown wasn't originally scheduled to be on that trade mission. At least that's according to sworn testimony by Nolanda Hill, a Brown confidante and business partner. She swore that he got ordered to join the trade mission after a meeting with Bill Clinton in which he told Clinton that he wouldn't go down alone in the matters where a special prosecutor was about to indict him. Chinagate and campaign finance violation related matters. Matters in which his son and wife had already been indicted. According to her testimony, he asked Clinton to shut down the prosecutor and Clinton said he couldn't. He then told Clinton he was prepared to turn state's evidence to save himself and his family. And after she testified to that effect, the Clinton's DOJ charged her with a tax evasion crime to shut her up. They never did present anything that actually challenged what she claimed about the Brown matter. Curious, huh?
And how about who was not on the flight? Remember Ira Sockowitz? He's the Commerce Department lead man who reported back to Christopher Warren that there were two survivors (rather than the one the government admitted). It turns out he was supposed to have been on the flight but "missed it" for some unspecified reason. Yet he got to the crash site fast enough to be the point man for Commerce. And, by the way, Ira Sockowitz was an associate of John Huang (a known spy and associate of Brown) and is himself implicated in illegally obtaining secret China related documents while at Commerce (another matter never pursued by the RENO DOJ). Brown was just surrounded with fine outstanding folks, wasn't he.
About that destination. Brown left on the trip planning to meet Croatian president Franco Tudjman in Zagreb, but was then informed that the meeting site had been changed to Dubrovnik. Curiously, Tudjman never even bothered to go to Dubrovnik until after Brown's death when Tudjman posthumously honored Brown with a distinguished national award for his efforts to strengthen ties between Croatia and the United States. At least he didn't joke and laugh like Clinton did at Brown's funeral. Was Tudjman's cooperation in this matter rewarded? Perhaps. Three months later Clinton sent another "trade mission" to Croatia and it was judged to be "very" successful. About 7 months after Brown died and a week after Clinton's re-election, Tudjman traveled to Walter Reed Hospital in Washington for cancer treatments ... even though Tudjman had been afraid to travel due to war crimes allegation by the Hague. And by the way, it was his son, Miroslav, who worked in state security who investigated the death of the Dubrovnik maintenance chief in charge of the portable beacon and who ruled it a suicide.
Wheels within wheels.
Why do you assume a suicide?
Remember, we don't really know who was on the plane that day. Perhaps someone whose body wasn't found? Someone who might have disabled the aircraft's communication? That at least would explain losing contact when the plane was still 5 minutes from the mountain. Perhaps that person shot Brown and then left the plane? Or didn't shoot Brown but left the plane? You know that the rear door of the wreckage was found open. Couldn't someone parachute out an open door? Is it only coincidence that the search initially focused on the ocean (where wreckage was reportedly seen but nothing found)?
You have to admit that the delay to search the ocean would have helped a cleanup crew arrive on the scene ahead of rescuers to make sure Brown was dead.
